I am excited to work closely with my team this fall and I am looking forward to hearing about everyone&#8217;s project. I am so happy for all of us that we have made it this far in the program. This is no small feat. We should all be proud and give ourselves a pat on the back for having made it this far.<\/p>\n<p>A little bit about myself. My name is Bryson Rivera. I currently live in Los Angeles County. I graduated with a degree in Political Science at Cal State Long Beach back in 2020. 2020 was a rough year for all of us, but one good thing is it gave me an opportunity to think what I want to do with my life. Right before I graduated I was working at a law firm as a legal intern. I was not the biggest fan of the work to say the least. The idea of studying for the bar and going to law school no longer peaked my interest. I asked myself if I can start over what do I wish I can learn no matter how difficult. My first thought was programming. I always had the curiosity, but never actually had the confidence to give it a try. <\/p>\n<p>After picking up some books and trying to code something up for myself, I learned that I really enjoyed the critical thinking and problem solving that was involved with writing programs. After finishing &#8220;Python Crash Course&#8221; I knew I had to pivot. Via Reddit I found a community of individuals with similar experiences to me. The subreddit gave me confidence that someone like myself could transition from liberal arts to an engineering degree.<\/p>\n<p>I am so happy I made the transition. I love building software programs and working with new technology. I recently finished a SWE internship at Okta. I had a great experience learning from senior developers and working on my project. Definitely a different feeling than my internship at my first degree. I accepted a return offer to return back in January and I could not be more excited.<\/p>\n<p>To celebrate I got myself a puppy. His name is Kiko. Here is a picture of him playing with his toy.<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/7134\/files\/2023\/09\/IMG_4847-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10\" width=\"287\" height=\"382\" srcset=\"https:\/\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/7134\/files\/2023\/09\/IMG_4847-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/7134\/files\/2023\/09\/IMG_4847-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/7134\/files\/2023\/09\/IMG_4847-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/7134\/files\/2023\/09\/IMG_4847-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/7134\/files\/2023\/09\/IMG_4847-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 287px) 100vw, 287px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I wish everyone the best of luck this quarter.
